Rhea smiled at the knight before asking him to leave her alone. Then she went back to her table and started reading about the rich history of the place again.
Right now, the Lycans, Conjurers, and the Spell Casters live in harmony. Conjurer and Spell casters seemed to keep to themselves, acting low—key and don't really like attracting trouble to themselves. However, the Lycans are different.
Because of their unrestrained nature, some of the Lycans turned rogue and were unable to join a pack. Some of them were living in the northern part of Zealandia, where the trees grow dense. The female lead should be one of the rogues living there.
Soon, the rogues would start attacking villages, killing people, and attracting the ire of the king of Lycans. 'Robot, what about the conjurers and spell caster, you didn't seem to mention them in the plot?'
No answer.
'The history said that people who could see the future can also cast spells. So, why did the church imprison Rhea and the Sybills if there are other people out there who can see the future?'
Again, the system didn't answer her. She rolled her eyes and started reading the book again. According to history, people who could see the future have weak bodies and cannot perform any spells aside from protection spells.
She wondered if this was something that the church created to have control over Sybills? After a few more minutes, Rhea stood and walked towards the door. "Hello? Grand Knight Holmes?"
She took a step back and waited for the wooden door to open.
"What is it?"
"May I speak to the Bishop? I want to go outside of my quarters and just walk by the gardens."
The Grand knight nodded. "The Bishop already allowed you to go outside and walk by the lake. However, you are to bring two servants and two knights with you. It wasn't something that needed your permission."
She smiled and nodded. After a few minutes, two women arrive to serve her. Both were wearing blue uniforms, clearly in contrast with her start white long dress that seemed to flutter in the air, making her look like a real floating goddess.
She looked at the peonies and other flowers deemed expensive by this world. It was said that only the rich could have these flowers. Obviously, the church is one of the rich.
"What flower is that?"
"Replying to the Sybill, that is a red Angel Blossom. It is a very rare flower that can only be found in the mountains near the gates of the dark ones were located. Getting such flower is dangerous, thus many people love to have and use it as a symbol of having the money to pay for someone to obtain the flower."
Rhea nodded. 'Bee. Scan it.' She said inwardly. The reason why she went out is that she wanted to test the system's scanning properties. In the previous world, she didn't have anything else to scan since it was a modern world and she was almost familiar with everything there.
However, this world is completely new to her. The sun and the moon, the abilities, the people occupying this place were new to her.
[Scanning in three, two, one…]
[Scanning complete]
[Name: Angel Blossom.]
[Background: Also known as Devil's Embrace. The blood of the gods tainted the white Angel Blossom. Thus, it changed its color to red. Because of the changes, many people near the gates started calling it Devil's Embrace.]
[Properties are as follows]
[Healing and Poison. Too much of everything is poisonous.]
[The blood coming from its stem could be used as a poison. One drop is enough to immobilize a horse.]
[Poison level: Non-lethal. Can only immobilize someone for one minute.]
"Hm? What is that sound?" Rhea stopped walking and looked at the greeneries in front of her. "Is that a woman?"
"Sybill, I think it is best that we leave this place. That might be the people who had been requesting to see you since that incident the other day."
Rhea frowned. "Let me go see those people."
"Sybill, this…" the servant tried to signal the guards following them to stop her. But they were a minute too late. Rhea was already running and jumped towards the bushes, into another pathway that should lead her to the other side of the wall.
"Follow her!"
"She jumped!"
"How is that possible?" How could a weak, sickly woman be that fast? However, they no longer have the time to think about this. The three of them followed her while the other one informed Grand Knight Holmes about the matter.
Meanwhile, it only took Rhea a couple of minutes to arrive at the group of people crying as guards were trying to subdue them. She looked at the people outside the gates, being dragged by some knights.
"Bishop Atlas, what is happening here?"
Her presence only made the commotion intensified. The people were now trying their best to get to her.
"Sybill! Please heal my village!"
"Sybill! Please help us!"
However, Rhea's attention was focused on the priest. "Why are you trying to stop this person?" she asked in a gentle and righteous tone.
"You — Why are you here?" the priest hissed.
"What do you mean, Bishop Atlas? Why can't I be here? I live here."
"Guards! Take the Sybill back to her quarters!"
"Bishop Atlas, why would you want them to take me back? These people needed my help!" She made sure that her voice was loud enough for the people to hear. "I want to help them. Are you trying to stop me from doing what the gods wanted me to do?"
"You— go back to your quarters! These people do not believe in our gods! They are atheists! How could you help such a dirty existence? You — call more guards to help out! Do not let these people inside the gates!"
'Bishop Atlas… you seemed to have forgotten something." Rhea said calmly. "I am tasked to help the people. Are you saying that these are not considered people because they do not believe in our gods?"
The bishop's face reddened he glared at her as if his life depended on it. In front of this many people, he cannot force the guards to take her away. This would only taint the reputation of the church!
